    Ingredients
      

    • slices white sandwich bread crusts removed
    • ½ cup whole milk scalded (180 F)
    • 2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    • 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
    • 1 large egg beaten
    • 2-3 Tbs. finely chopped jalapeño
    • 3 slices cooked crispy bacon finely chopped
    • 1 slice white sandwich bread crust removed, crumbled
    • Vegetable oil for frying

    Instructions
     

    • In medium saucepan, add bread slices. Pour scalded milk over bread and set aside until lukewarm. Place pan over low heat and stir with spoon until pasty. Remove from heat.
    • Stir in cheese and flour. Blend egg into mixture, mixing well. Stir in jalapeño, bacon and breadcrumbs. Allow mixture to cool. Use a small cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon to shape into ¾-inch balls.
    • In heavy, deep-fry pan, heat 2-inches oil to 350 F. Using a slotted spoon, lower one ball in the oil to see if it rapidly sizzles. Fry in batches of four, without over-crowding. Fry 1 ½-2 minutes; turning balls for an even golden brown.
    • Remove balls from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Let oil return to 350 F before making the next batch. Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of cheese ball; it should register about 160 F. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Yield: about 20 cheese balls.
